That's right, it's here, the ULTIMATE Street Beta Tournament. This is where the men take off their boxing gloves and go berserk on each other for the grand prize!

The rules are simple: Each challenger starts off with 3 points. At the beginning of the tournament, each of you will be pinned against 3 other opponents. You win by having the highest score at the end of the tournament. You lose by reaching a score of 0 points.

There will be no custom-made map for this one. All challengers will play Dark Extermination maps, without any modifications. At the end of the match, the winner posts the game ID on the forum, along with the player names (example: Game ID: 1337. Ultimatedewd vs OMGsoGoth).

The tournament phases are as follows:21th May - Tournament begins | 1st Phase.24th May - 2nd Phase.27th May - Final Phase.29th May - Results.

During each phase, opponents will be selected for each challenger. Each opponent counts as 1 Extermination Match. NOTE: Points will not increase/decrease by playing matches against other tournament challengers that are in -YOUR- Opponent list. All opponents will be selected randomly for each challenger

But what's a good tournament without the prizes, right? That's why, in ULTIMATE Street Beta Tournament, the top players will receive badges to attach to their signatures and show off their ultimate skills. Sure, they might not look like much, but think about the bragging rights!

The prizes are:

Oh yeah, this is the ultimate FS player. He joined this game to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and he's all out of gum. He's probably a SWAT officer in real life, or better. Unmatched skills, truly number 1. If you end up in a game against him, just shoot your own soldiers in the face to end it faster.

Don't be fooled by this player's number 2 spot. He went through the tournament challengers like he was playing Solitaire. Odds are he played throughout the entire thing with only one hand to keep tings fair. If he ever becomes your opponent, I'd be looking up Google for security company packages.

(x 3) This badge is given out to the 3 players with the highest scores after number 1 and 2. Yes, they got that high-up and they probably even lost a few teeth in the process. Clearly the raging hounds of the Frozen Synapse community, you better check yourselves before you break yourselves when playing against these fellas.

(remaining players) Yeah, these challengers aren't that great. They didn't make in the Top 5 and they've probably lost all feeling in their faces while being trampled to the ground by the elites, but still, they joined the tournament, had a good time, and more importantly, they've managed to reach the end of the tournament with a score of at least one point! That's gotta count for something, right?

This is the Ultimate Street Beta Tournament, folks. To summarize the rules are:

1) Only viable mode is Dark Extermination. Random map, no advanced settings.2) Challengers who reach 0 (zero) points are taken out of the Tournament.3) Challenger with highest points gets 1st prize.2) Challenger with 2nd highest points gets 2nd prize.3) Challenger with 3rd highest points gets 3rd prize. (edited 21.05)4) Challengers with at least 1 point left at the end of the tournament get consolation prize.5) A challenger is not allowed to ignore a match for an entire phase duration. If the challenger does not comply by playing the match he/she is disqualified.6) Only challengers who have completed the requirements for the badge prize can use that specific badge prize.7) Cheating by using advanced settings and/or using a badge witch you have not earned will get you the unofficial tittle of "that guy".8) Anyone can join.9) Opponents will be chosen randomly for each challenger.

The tournament starts on the 21st of May, so until then, join up, train hard and lock'n load. To join, just post your desire here, along with your in-game name.

The dates are in GMT, with the requirement of me posting the challenger-opponents list as soon as possible when nearing that date.

The reason why every Phase takes a few days, instead of just one, is to avoid users having to choose between real-life events/issues and the tournament itself. So basically, during the First Phase, you have 3 days to complete the matches against your opponents and against your challengers.
